DescriptionThis little visited area, W of "The Main Mobscene", harbors the 2 best moderate "sport bolted" faces at the "Woo" plus some awesome cracks, lots of trees, shade (and no people, shhhhh!) Getting ThereFollow the general directions to Vedauwoo from Cheyenne but then turn S and then W on the S frontage road. Cross N under the Interstate on Blair Road and drive N on FS 705 to a picnic/parking area (FS 705e)just after crossing Crow Creek, it is a fee area.

Intimidation 5.9+ WY : Vedauwoo : Lower Blair III, II and I
It's surprising that this route hasn't been added to MP until now, since it's one of the best routes on Blair III. Start by climbing a nice, hand crack that angles right to a sloping ledge. From the ledge, pull the first of two cruxes up a steep and strenuous crack/face. The next crux is a challenging offwidth that leans left and offers some good grunting. ...[more] Browse More Classics in WY
